I did sort of mean to start this thread on the 23rd of March, the "official" birthday, the annivesary of the Toledo lectures, but the gmb was down and revamping and life sort of got in the way.

I thought a good way to celebrate this birthday would be by all of use getting together with images we have of pieces from the very early days and having another lovely thread full of glorious show and tell images.

Sue — Thanks for starting this topic, as I had not really appreciated what Studio Glass was. I found an interesting and seemingly authoritative overview in Judith Miller's 20th Century Glass. I can't say that I fully appreciate what it is, but I will take more care about describing glass as studio, trial, or experimental.

Happy New Year to All Glass Makers, Historians, Dealers, and Collectors

The last three date from the year when Herman ran his own studio at the Jam Factory, employing staff and recent graduates to assist him and to do their own work, obviously closely following the master. In the Australian way, all three of them were immigrants - from Slovakia, Netherlands and Britain respectively - and all three went on to have substantial careers in studio glass.
